The purpose of a gun is not just to kill.
There is also deterrence.
When a sudden monster brings people madness with fear, only another kind of fear can bring them a brief moment of calm.
"Who are you? Why do you have a gun?"
"Police officer! Are you a police officer?!"
"Help us! There's a monster at school!"
"Help!!"
"..."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the students erupted in noise again, crowding towards Lin Qiye, their voices echoing throughout the school gate.
Lin Qiye frowned slightly, and instead of retreating, he advanced!
He lightly pressed his finger on the handle of the black box, and the side of the black box quickly opened, and a sheathed straight sword sprang out!
Lin Qiye gripped the hilt of the sword with lightning speed.
Clang—!
The straight sword is drawn!
The blade, gleaming with a pale blue light, sliced through the air with a soft hum, and slashed towards the boy in the lead with lightning speed!
The boy's pupils contracted sharply, and his entire head swelled up, as if something was about to burst out at any moment!
However, Lin Qiye's sword severed his head first!A terrifying monster head covered in flesh and fangs was tossed high into the air, splattering thick blood all over the surrounding students. They stared at the scene in a daze, frozen in place like statues.
From the moment they rushed irrationally towards Lin Qiye to the moment Lin Qiye drew his sword, swung it, and beheaded them, only a blink of an eye passed. These students were still unable to recover from the visually shocking reality.
A few seconds later, a piercing scream erupted.
The monster... had been hiding right next to them all along?
"Quiet!" Lin Qiye roared, a flash of golden light disappearing from his eyes!
The chaotic crowd fell silent instantly!
The moment Lin Qiye spoke, an unprecedented pressure crashed into their hearts like a tidal wave, completely stunning them.
"Now, there are no monsters hiding among you. You can leave the school directly; someone will open the gate for you!" Lin Qiye said calmly, sheathing his straight sword.
"However, everyone go out in order, don't push. If I see anyone not following the rules..."
Lin Qiye slowly raised the muzzle of his gun and waved it in front of everyone.
Upon hearing this, the students immediately turned around and ran towards the school gate. Although they seemed a bit anxious, they were still relatively orderly. Several girls were so weak in the legs that they couldn't walk, and the boys helped them walk towards the school gate.
At this moment, a corner of the [No-Rule Airspace] at the school gate was lifted, revealing a road leading to the outside world.
Outside of the [No-Rule Void], there will be people specifically tasked with erasing their memories, something Lin Qiye doesn't need to worry about.
This group of students alone numbered about four hundred, and many more students continued to run from the teaching building to this place; they were all first-year and third-year high school students.
There weren't many infected students in the first and third years of high school, and the school building was located very close to the school gate, so escaping the school building after the monster appeared wasn't difficult. The problem was that there were still infected students who hadn't been exposed and were hiding among the students in the chaos.
They are like extremely unstable bombs; no one knows when they will explode, but there is no doubt that the moment they explode will become the last straw that breaks the students' spirits.
It's like a group of students finally escaping a monster and finding a safe place. Just as they let their guard down, the heads of their classmates suddenly split open again...
Although the monsters' destructive power is limited, the absurd things that humans do out of panic have no limits.
Fortunately, with Lin Qiye, the humanoid detector, they can easily find the monsters mixed in with the crowd and kill them directly. The students who are identified as harmless can also leave this place through the [No-Rule Void].
With so many students, forcing them to stay at the school would only increase the uncertainty. Lin Qiye couldn't send all the students away, but he could send some away as much as he could.
Fortunately, the high school students are in pretty good physical condition. Within minutes, 1,300 to 1,400 students had run to the school gate. After being identified by Lin Qiye, they left the school. The buildings for the first and third years of high school were basically empty.
"You can close the passage now, I need to go in and rescue people," Lin Qiye said to Leng Xuan on the other end of the earpiece.
Leng Xuan hummed in agreement, and the next moment the passage of [Boundless Void] slowly closed, isolating the entire school from the world once again.Just as Lin Qiye was about to set off, the sky suddenly flickered, like an old television with a faulty connection, and then dimmed.
"What happened?"
"I'm not very familiar with [No-Rules Void] yet, and it seems like I've encountered something strange..." Leng Xuan's voice came from the other end of the earpiece, "Will it affect you? Let me investigate further..."
Lin Qiye looked up at the blood-red sky and sighed.
"I feel that emerald green is more approachable."
"After all, this scene looks... just like the end of the world."
Beneath the blood-red sky, the atmosphere on campus was eerie and mysterious. Screams mixed with monster roars echoed from the distant second-year high school building, reverberating through the air.
A faint smell of blood wafted through the air, causing Lin Qiye to frown slightly.
He shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and quickly searched the first and third year high school buildings with his knife....
"Alan...I...I'm so scared!"
"Shh!" Alan peeked out from the toilet stall, then slowly withdrew. "Keep your voice down, don't attract those monsters."
"But why don't we follow them and run outside? Why do we have to hide here?" another girl asked.
Three girls were crammed into a narrow, dark toilet stall. Their faces were filled with fear, and their lips were pale.
Alan lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "Haven't you seen those disaster movies? When the apocalypse comes, those who rush out without thinking basically die!"
"Based on my years of experience watching movies, the wisest course of action at this point is to separate from the main group and wait for rescue in a safe place!"
"But...this isn't a movie!" the girl next to her said, her voice trembling with tears. "And are you sure the restroom is a safe place?"
"I wanted to look for somewhere else, but this huge school building is just classrooms and toilets, where else can we go?" Alan sighed helplessly. "But don't worry, we'll be fine hiding here."
Squeak—!
Before Alan could finish speaking, the door to the toilet stall was suddenly pulled open.
The three girls hiding in the cubicle screamed at the same time!
When they saw that it wasn't a monster that opened the door, but a girl carrying duel pistols, they all covered their mouths and fell silent.
"Eh... Are you sure hiding in the bathroom will guarantee your survival?" Lin Xi Chen chuckled as she tucked the strands of hair at her temples behind her ears, even though they kept floating back up.
She raised the gun in an instant, and before the three disenchanted eyes of the others, she calmly shot one of the girls.
Bang! Bang!
A huge, grotesque, fleshy snake body fell to the ground. Twitching and die after that.
